Same here, but it's been with Epic Mickey. It's tough and the camera is annoying, but I sweart, when it comes down to video games I'm basically a little kid lol

And speaking of Pokemon, how many are out there now? There were 150 back in my day

Since the release of Black And White, there are 649 Pokemon now. Far too many in my view as they've begun to lose their creativity with them.

The only thing more boring than Cricket itself is listening to some monotonous drone commentating Cricket. Brand new bullet...in a gun...to my head.

OK that is far too many Pokemon

Back in my day, we have 150 Pokemon, and I even remember seeing at camp the transition from Game Boy Pocket (it's a smaller version of the original black and white one) to Color and people getting 'em confiscated

To me, cricket is like a boring, endless version of baseball that involves a paddle and a lot of boredom. At least I can get excited at a baseball game, even if it was the Mets (my dad had gotten free tickets for 'em twice at his old job and both times, they got absolutely creamed by, of all teams, the Milwaukee Brewers (yes Matt, there are in fact teams worse than the Brewers) and the Arizona Diamondbacks)

You mean Red, Yellow and Blue? They were the original.

It would remind you of Baseball considering Cricket provided the blueprint for Baseball..

I'll do it Literally just finished up with UCAS.

Holy HELL R.E.M. are on form with Collapse Into Now. This is even better than Accelerate and possibly some of their pre '97 (Bill Berry departure) works.

Just sharing, because I'm about to burst:

I just found out I got a summer internship at my favorite tabloid! I've been reading it since I was 10 years old, so this is kind of surreal. I'm confident I belong there--I know more about celebrity gossip than any human should. Reading blogs and watching interviews will be among my duties, so for once I won't have to consider the hours I already devote to these activities as time wasted. It also just seems like such a fun environment--their office was so much more vibrant than any other I interviewed in.
I've been so stressed with midterms and next year's housing, and now that's all melted away. I've already flipped out to my family and friends, and have now moved on to spreading it about the web, apparently.

Was going to ask you yesterday, but forgot, if you'd got it (daft question really) and if you liked it (probably another daft question)!

This is my 6,000th post on the Ledge. Only took me seven years.

This is so f*cking cool. Congratulations. I can't even imagine the competition you beat out for that.
